whoa, headspin scrolling this page….

Congratulations to everyone who has posted mature, positive and heartfelt comments, sadly very rare on Angelina Jolie comment boards.

When I visit these types of sites, I am often shocked and saddened at the amount of malice displayed by some.

Given some of the nasty, vicious and mean-spirited comments on these sites, you really have to wonder about the mentality of the person who is writing them.

To those people I would say, were you not aware that when you make detrimental comments about another, those comments actually reflect an inner part of yourself?

It is a known fact that negative comments are normally made by people who have low self-esteem, feel a lack of self-worth and are often jealous of the person they are attacking.

Given that you are making your assumptions on often fabricated, distorted media reporting and unfounded rumours (on someone you have never met) is also very disturbing.

a lot of the friends aniston has have broken up relationships, sheryl crow, courtney cox, laura dern, they all have been with men before they were divorced, BBT left his X wife petra for dern, and i think petra actually became good friends with angelina, if jennifer aniston had high morals she wouldnt be friends with those women, if people hating on angelina are not jennifer aniston fans as they claimed why cant they move on, and leave angelina alone with her life and her beautiful children.

“Dern also got pregnant with her first child when her now husband was still married, with a baby on the way)”

Say what?! And she has the nerve to rag on Angelina for breaking up her relationship with BBT? Talk about throwing rocks while living in glass houses, I’d say that woman was throwing boulders!

Cute article. So nice to read an insightful article about this intriguing family. Also nice to read an article that shows how down to earth and normal their family life really is. Even if they do a bit more traveling than the average family.

Much more interesting to me than reading about a celeb’s wardrobe or hairstyles or rehab stays.

Great article! Thanks for posting this.

To Hannah, who “can’t wait for the next addition to the family”:

Well, I can. I think they are doing a great job with the four they have now. But as someone who has worked for many years in foster care and adoption, I would seriously counsel them to consolidate their family and wait another year at least, preferably two, before adding to it. This is especially important for little Pax, who is still dealing with language and cultural differences, so that he can feel fully integrated into his new country and new family before they adopt again.

Lauren, you sound very balanced to me. But I believe Angelina’s supporters have taken what you seem to feel is a defensive stance as a reaction against some of the really outrageous messages being posted on other blogs by many Aniston supporters, including but not limited to:

1) Hoping Angelina’s plane crashes;
2) Wishing she would have a miscarriage while she was pregnant with Shiloh;
3) Referring to little Z in viciously racist terms;
4) Accusing her of not loving Shiloh (mind you, these are the same people who wished she would have a miscarriage or that Shiloh would be born handicapped)

And then there are the ridiculous tabloid articles, week in and week out, claiming Brad is leaving Angie or vice versa.

In point of fact, many “Jenbots” (gotta love that term) do claim that Angelina broke Jen and Brad’s marriage up, despite the fact that the marriage was dead as a doornail months before she and Brad ever met. After two years, they are still hating on her for this. Sounds ridiculous? It sure does to me. But go read some other blogs and you’ll see what I mean.

I love reading Angie’s interviews! She is so candid and always interesting.

Love this interview as well, she is so down to earth, not at all the way the tabs like to portray her. She is really a shy person, but someone who is brave and passionate about life.

I can really relate to her a lot more than I thought I could based on gossip. She is a good person and a caring mom. I think Brad is a good person too. I’m glad they found each other. Can’t wait for the next addition to the family.

It’s great to see her so happy. I think she and Brad are doing a marvelous job with their children and taking care of parts of the world. They can’t do everything but what they do do is HUGE!!

They have inspired me to want to do more, perhaps even adopt at some point.

I see that Angie’s brother is in Prague now, with the family. This will be the first mother’s day since their mom died.
Blessings to them all!
